Our portfolio of buildings has grown from one-off houses to include larger scale residential developments, education, cultural, leisure and civic projects. We have been recognised through numerous awards and are proud that our work has been widely published and won critical acclaim.

Whilst I hope the diversity of our work demonstrates our intention to approach each project on its own merits, I hope that you will recognise in each one our fundamental approach – to produce wonderful places for people to inhabit.
